Fair valiie me45MremeAt The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an aaive market. When quoted prices are unavatlable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides eviden¢¢ of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circurnstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and rec¢nt transactions of an identical as5Ct on their own are not a good estimate of fair valuq the fair value is &81irnatcd by using a valuation technique. 3 Income from donations 2nd legacies UDrestri¢ted Total 2024 Total 2023 GeDeral Donatlolls and legacies; Donations Grants, including capilal grydnts.
